As part of his upcoming tour, Stephin Merritt will appear in two events as part of the "Twenty Summers at the Barn" festival in Provincetown, Massachusetts.

The first on Friday June 5, is a book event for "101 Two Letter Words," Stephin's poetic homage to the smallest words in the Scrabble Dictionary. Merritt will be in conversation with the poet Rives, reading passages from the book and discussing it together. Tickets are available here.

The second performance, on June 6, will be a solo show with Sam Davol on cello. He will perform 26 songs in alphabetical order in an exclusive and elegant setting, in front of only 75 people. Tickets are available here.
